Since
our founding in 1979, the Earth Preservation Fund(EPF) has
worked to preserve the resources we enjoy most. Over the
past 22 years, the EPF has supported numerous community-based
environmental, educational, and cultural preservation programs.
Meet the founders & staff.
 | Currently
the EPF is supporting a traditional cultural school
in Nepal, a reforestation project in Tanzania, and
a traditional weaving project in Peru amongst a host
of others around the world. Since the
devastating events of September 11, we’ve noticed
that many of the communities we serve
have seen a dramatic decline in their local economies
due to the lack of tourism dollars. Meeting this need,
the EPF is working with community leaders to find
ways to re-employ these individuals through environmental
conservation and restoration projects. This serves
two purposes, it minimizes the economic loss to the
community and improves the natural environment at
the same time.
All
EPF supported projects are small-scale and community
initiated. Rather than working with larger conservation
organizations that spend a large portion of their
budget on fundraising activities, the EPF looks
to support smaller projects where a contribution
of up to $500 can make a significant difference.
Please visit our projects page for a more detailed
list of projects supported.
The
EPF is a tax-exempt 501(c
)3 organization so contributions to the EPF
are tax free. Further, donors may choose either
the type of project they wish to support, or indicate
the region or country in which they wish their donations
should be spent
